Vegetable Egg Fried Rice image

Light and fluffy are words that should describe well-made fried rice. It shouldn't be weighed down with soy sauce or oil. Using eggs is the key to keeping it light. Cooking the rice right into the wet egg creates a pillowy, fluffy fried rice.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons cooking oil
4 to 6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups day-old rice, long grain or jasmine
1/2 cup sliced carrot (cut into half coins)
1/2 cup diced bell pepper
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons white pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil until a wisp of white smoke appears. Add the garlic and onion, saute 30 seconds. Add the beaten eggs and immediately add the rice, gently press down in small circles to separate the rice grains.
  • Stir in the carrot and bell pepper and cook for about 1 minute. Don't be afraid to scrape rice stuck to the bottom of the pan. Fold in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, white pepper and salt. Continue to stir and fold for about 2 more minutes. Cook until the rice absorbs the sauces and is slightly crisp on the edges.
  • Fold in the green onions and serve immediately.
